Lake Chad - decrease in area 1963, 1973, 1987, 1997 and 2001

Year: 2006 Author: Philippe Rekacewicz and Hugo Ahlenius UNEP/GRID-Arendal
Description:
Straddling the borders of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon in West Africa, Lake Chad has been a source of freshwater for irrigation projects in all these countries. This graphic traces the shrinkage of Lake Chad and changes in vegetation from 1963 to 2001. It includes maps of the lake from 1963, 1973, 1987, 1997 and 2001. Climatic changes and high demands for agricultural water are responsible for the lake's shrinkage.
